[Lydyn]

No one has a clue?

[LastingDawn]

If it were the basic class, and not another class, I would chalk it up to them having learned it automatically (Ramza will always know Wish, Gafgarion will always Know Night and ?Dark? Sword.) Why that would be happening is a bit beyond me.

Oh! Are you using them as anything before they are dancer? Those skills are rather high percentages you have learned. If in the ENTD they started as a Chaos Knight, it could be they are auto learning skills from their lists through that.

[Zozma]

each skill has a priority on what is auto learned in each job.
night sword is like 100% thats why gaffy always knows it, its priority, same with agrias and stasis sword. also anything with 0 jp cost...
when you get orlandu have you ever noticed that he has usually learned
stasis sword, night sword and shellbust stab?

because they have the highest auto-learn % for each of those skillsets.....

look at the skills youve given each job in the abilities section, and then just below jp cost see what % it has in "chance to learn" alot of times characters end up with the same stuff based on what they can afford and whats priority

[Xifanie]

Yeah, but he's not creating a new character; he takes her into battle and her learned skills changes.

[VincentCraven]

Those are pretty cool classes; however, even with those god awful growths your characters may be broken due to the innate: Regen/Protect and Shell.

As for your problem, what did you change to make that skillset? Ideally, you should have taken the original skillset (Dance/Sing), changed the name, and added the skills you wanted in place of the Dance/Sing skills in the order you desire.

Your theme, Heavenly Chaos, sounds splendid. Run with it.

[Xifanie]

yeah, like Cincent said, that's likely it since Sen encountered the same problem and that was the cause.

[Lydyn]

• To keep things organized in least in my posts, I'm using these! Anyways first subject is the skillset, I had thought it might be because of the Phantom & Chaos since they're neither used anywhere in the game. I'll experiment and see if Sing/Dance work better. I had originally done that simply because they sound better than Sing/Dance, lol.

• The growth / innate abilities. What do you suggest? I'd rather them a tiny bit better in growth compared to other classes and admittedly a little more powerful not only for the fact they're Sword Skill knights, but because of all the class requirements you have to go through for them. Suppose you could argue that Mime has more... though I was thinking of lowering it's class requirements because I never thought the effort vs. reward was enough for mimes.

• I'm also improving most of the monsters in game, if at the very least just bumping a lot of their growth rates and multipliers (including PA & MA in some cases). Any suggestions?

• The learn % of each skill is all the same, I never changed those at all, but Zodiac is right. It's changing from formation -> battle. So, the learned % have nothing to do with it in this case - only in the case of when you have NPCs join the party.

• Minor thing, I don't know how to change any name, descriptions, or anything in the text area. I tried using the text editor, but it came out bugged and pretty much made it so all text was messed up. Wish I could though.

[Lydyn]

Success! Switching to Sing/Dance worked perfectly ... even though I switched Shock and Hellcry Punch in the Chaos Knight's list so she that the transfer made her learn Hellcry Punch instead of Shock.

[Lydyn]

I added this, especially Vincent and Karsten, tell me if this is apart enough from VK's version (since they OK'd me using their ideas as a base). Anyone else, just tell me what you think.

[VincentCraven]

looks good.

[Lydyn]

I know either people don't seem to care or are just slow to reply, so I'm putting this up as a bump.

• The growth / innate abilities. What do you suggest? I'd rather them a tiny bit better in growth compared to other classes and admittedly a little more powerful not only for the fact they're Sword Skill knights, but because of all the class requirements you have to go through for them.

• I'm also improving most of the monsters in game, if at the very least just bumping a lot of their growth rates and multipliers (including PA & MA in some cases). Any suggestions?

[Asmo X]

The problem is, no one has the answers to those questions. The VK patch has been in the making for some months now and they're still hashing out the particulars of character growth and monster changes. So obviously no-one is going to have immediate suggestions for your patch in those areas.

The best thing you could do right now is take a look at the Sigma changes. I think that offered the biggest improvement yet over vanilla FFT.

[Lydyn]

I don't wanna steal anyone's work and it's not just about the monsters ... it's about balancing my two new classes two - which seem quite different from any blue or red mage or any other class for that matter, heh.

P.S. - And I'm not trying to be all mean about it. Even simple suggestions would be helpful. Trying to play the game with the changes I have so far. I suppose if it helps, it's actually a little more challenging, especially with the innate Knight maintenance. But, I don't know ... thinking of putting protect only on Choas Knights and Shell only on Heavenly Knights.

[Lydyn]

Oohh ... crap. I hope I don't end up dying on the final battle. Look at these babies!

Holy Angel (First Version) - Level 56
• HP Growth: 15
• HP Multiplier: 240
• MP Growth: 25
• MP Multiplier: 150
• Speed Growth: 95
• Speed Multiplier: 155
• PA Growth: 35
• PA Multiplier: 115
• MA Growth: 95
• MA Multiplier: 130
• Class Evade: 25%

Arch Angel (Second Version) - Level 66
• HP Growth: 20
• HP Multiplier: 250
• MP Growth: 30
• MP Multiplier: 160
• Speed Growth: 100
• Speed Multiplier: 160
• PA Growth: 40
• PA Multiplier: 120
• MA Growth: 100
• MA Multiplier: 140
• Class Evade: 30%

Whew.  

[Lydyn]

Yay! I got the Level Up Sim thingy (found in General, under "Angel of Death" topic) and... now I'm going to do the tedious task of going through all Zodiac Bosses and my Heavenly/Chaos Knight and rework all the stats.

[VincentCraven]

What? You wanted them to have better growth?

Then you should know that lower C values yield higher growths. A 20HPC growth is absolute phail. Don't feel bad if I tear apart your patch, they are just suggestions. Now without furter ado...


Honestly, I do believe that your class requirements are a spot too high. Also, to unlock Samurai and Ninja, you would necessarily have to get 4Monk and 2Lancer.

Heavenly Knight: Lv8 Knight, Lv3 Samurai, Lv4(or5) Priest
Chaos Knight: Lv8 Knight, Lv3 Samurai, Lv4(or5) Wizard
You aren't aspiring to be a master chemist, so no need for lv8 in that. These classes seem to completely trump Knight, so you'd better spend lots of time training as a knight. Also, since they are magical knights, only Samurai really fits the bill there.

Innate: Any Ground, Protect; Absorb: Dark, Weak: HolySee what I did there? I made them very powerful, but slow. The fact that they are using sword skills AND have the innate: Shell/Protect is a bit over the top. Also, they are knights so ditch that ability to wear clothing.

With your previous stats, once the player unlocks them, he's pretty much home free. Especially with that blasted Night Sword. Do yourself a favor and change the formula for Night Sword to 06. Good luck keeping these guys unbroken!

For monsters, a boost in HP (by a lot) and PA is needed. Also, give them better skills.

[Asmo X]

I'm guessing the words "over the top" aren't relevant to this patch. This sounds more JRPGish in that as you progress you leave a trail of redundancy behind you until you've unlocked the best thing. I suppose it's just a preference. In the original FFT you worked up to calc and if you were relentlessly interested in winning you used it unashamedly with a particular equipment setup.

I detest that kind of thing, but it's just an opinion.

[Lydyn]

Before I reply, I do want to mention I'm am a tad bit sensative about this ... I mean, c'mon, this is my first time even trying my hand at this. Personally, I think I'm doing pretty well in light of that fact. It just feels like there's a slightly negative undertone... like I've messed everything up or my idea isn't good enough or something. Is that what you're thinking? I don't know, but it feels that way ... I just ask instead of pointing all the bad things out, discuss the limitations as well as the good, that's all.

With that out of the way, the class requirements is a good argument on the side of making sense, but I do want to mention... I made them high for a reason. They're powerful classes.
